What to Watch Next Week

North Korea was the only theme strong on 2 days, and every other theme was strong on one. A key question is whether the telecom pair repeats after Nov 28.

Smaller moves included Food at 6.56% on Nov 26 and Shipbuilding at 3.65% on Nov 28. Whether these lower-ranked themes broaden is the next test.
